As a Singapore based startup, Drive lah is a peer-to-peer car sharing platform where you can rent a large variety of cars, always nearby at great value. All trips on Drive lah are insured through our insurance partner - Tokio Marine. The idea is simple: car ownership is expensive in Singapore (per month yet only use the car 5% of the time – cars are mostly parked. With Drive lah you can reduce the cost of ownership by renting it out when you don’t need it in a safe way. Renters can rent those cars when they are not used by their owners at good value.In a fast-growing non-ownership economy where taxi, food, beauty is available on-demand, Drive lah is envisioning to take the lead in distance travel and simplifying car access

We love a happy ending! 🎉 Huge shoutout to Trixie for coming to the rescue and getting your account sorted and verified in no time. Welcome to the community, and happy driving with Drive lah! 🚗✨
You mentioned verification will be done under 2 hours but it took more than that and you made my booking expired. Now if I book I have to wait 2 hours. Very bad service. It's ok thanks Mr. Jeremy.

Hi Vigneswaran,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration this caused.
We’d like to clarify our verification process: identity verification is usually completed within two hours, but during periods of high demand or when additional checks are required, it can take slightly longer. Unfortunately, for security and safety reasons, we’re unable to bypass this step, and bookings will expire if verification isn’t completed in time.
We understand this can be inconvenient, especially when you’re trying to book quickly, and we’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. Your feedback helps us improve how we communicate this upfront, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Thanks for sharing this feedback, Calvin — and we appreciate the honest 3-star rating. Although we do aim for five-stars.
We’re sorry the app issues made your verification take longer than it should have. That’s definitely not the experience we aim to deliver, and we understand how frustrating delays like that can be. The good news is we’re actively improving the verification flow to make it smoother and faster going forward.
We’re glad our team was responsive over email and that we were able to get things sorted in the end. Your patience is appreciated, and your feedback genuinely helps us do better.
Thanks again for giving Drive lah a try, and we hope your future experiences with us are much smoother. Happy driving!
Ralph was really helpful in guiding me step by step to ensure I had a smooth approval process. Really appreciate it

Thanks for sharing this! We’re pleased to hear that Ralph guided you step by step and helped ensure a smooth approval process. We’ll be sure to pass along your appreciation to him — feedback like this means a lot to our team.
I made a comeback to book a car -mitsubishi ex. Reason being, my BIL recommend me this app. It's reasonable price and some of the host is great to deal with. But my 2cents opinion, if the car is a daily usage, why was it being listed? Because some of us the renters may want to use the car during the working days. It took awhile for host to approve the request. So I hope drivelah app can get the message across to all users and host to be more transparent. Last minute booking, within 72hours doesn't equivalent CONFIRMED booking. And shoutout to Amber for being helpful and making my transaction easy because some hosts can be quite idiotic. They just ignore my requests. Thanks girl.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback — we really appreciate it.
We’re glad to hear you came back to Drive lah based on a recommendation and that you’ve found the pricing reasonable and some hosts great to deal with. At the same time, we understand your frustration around approval delays, especially for bookings needed on working days. Your point about transparency is fair, and we’re continually working to remind hosts to clearly communicate availability and respond promptly to requests.
You’re also right that requests made within 72 hours are not automatically confirmed — host approval is still required. We agree that clearer expectations on both sides help make the experience smoother, and your feedback helps us reinforce this with our host community.
A big thank you as well for calling out Amber — we’re really pleased she was able to step in, support you, and make the transaction easier. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her.
Thanks again for your honesty and for being part of the Drive lah community.
